As soon as the ship docked at the port, Bai Laoqi was helped to get off the boat, and saw a team of thousands of people, pulling a cart and a widow rushing to appear on the dock.

The tension in Bai Laoqi's heart was fleeting, and Liu Mu talked to him several times alone.

Bai Laoqi took a deep breath, stretched out his finger and pointed at one of the board cars, and then casually ordered a widow. Behind him were the two old men Liu Mu saw at the beginning, and under Bai Laoqi's signal, these two were also choosing a board car, and then ordering the widows.

This widow will let the people who follow him go with the car, and according to the rules, the village chief's family is a servant.

The old and weak women and children from Chang'an on the boat were helped to sit on the cart, and then began to walk outside the dock.

Going out from here, there are thousands of widows waiting outside the dock.

The chosen Japanese were basically a family, and they would let their own women who were waiting outside follow the back of the carriage.

The Japanese women were secretly counting the number of people, and they knew that the people who came from the Tang Dynasty could choose more than six people who were nobles, and these people would manage five villages, and these six people would either be one or two households.

All the people who came out were big families, and the widow happily followed behind the cart.

Everything seemed so natural, as if it were all as it should be.

Xie Zheng patted his head, and then he remembered that when he was on the boat, Bai Laoqi explained the rules to him, and hurriedly called out the leaders of these people who came with him.

"I forgot to tell you that when you come here, according to different levels, Li Zheng will assign six Ding as servants, the village chief four Ding as servants, and then each household is two Ding as servants, and each tenant receives a civilian card here, you have to listen to the village head, Li Zheng's orders, every ten families in one village, each village is in charge of one hundred Japanese households."

After Xie Zheng finished speaking, the tenants didn't believe it, but they were even more nervous and had no money to pay these servants.

Even though they were tenants, they also knew that the servants of the lord's household were paid monthly.

Immediately, someone asked: "Steward Xie, we can't pay this month's money." ”

"Joke, what kind of place is this, there is a Bo Si behind you, and there is the support of the Tang Dynasty. Every family here has servants, and none of you have one, that is, you don't work hard and can't make money, are you ashamed? ”

Xie Zheng's words made these people even more uneasy.

"Listen to me, a village has to manage tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of acres of mulberry forests, and as much as you want to keep in your hands, you will become rich. Do you want to be tenants for a lifetime, or tenants for several lifetimes. ”

Listening to Xie Zheng's reprimand, instead of being sad, these people laughed one by one.

Once in my hometown, there were those who sent their daughters to be maids to large families, and there were also those who served as servants for large families during the slack time.

Xie Zheng said again: "There are rules, this rule must be remembered, and mistakes will be punished heavily." This rule is a big deal, it is a rule set by the big people in Chang'an City, which is equivalent to Tang Law. ”

The tenants shouted, "You say, you say." Be sure to follow the rules. ”

"One of your villages is in charge of a hundred Japanese households, and this Japanese household has a daughter's family, and every household that comes here has at least one qualification to accept a Japanese girl as a concubine, but the rules are well heard."

Xie Zheng's tone became stern: "First, you can't use force. Use the crime of the strong according to our Tang law, if you can't kill you, you will break one of your legs. Second, if there is really any idea, it must be approved by the housewife, and there must be a record in the village, and then there must be a ceremony that is not too big, after all, these are also the daughters of a pure white family. ”

The tenants were stunned.

Who has ever heard that small people and small households can still take concubines.

Xie Zheng shook his head helplessly: "Listen to everything, the first thing I do when I get to the villages is to go to the village chief first to understand the rules and write them down." Then each family chooses one person to come out and form a village meeting with the village chief, and if there are any big or small things, just like in our place, the village will discuss them. ”

Everyone was already stupid, and no one answered.

Xie Zheng also knew that it would take a while for these people to accept such a big change, so he had to order them to hurry immediately and go to the assigned villages.

A scene on the dock is seen in the eyes of Liu Mu.

Liu Renliang asked beside him, "Does Hayato also follow this rule?" ”

"What about your opinion?"

"I don't know much about this, Uncle Eldest Sun told me that it would be better for Hayato to follow this rule, and if not, he would be able to understand. After all, this is the leader of the Su family, and it can be regarded as a slave for the master's family. And Hayato's side didn't say that, only that they borrowed land and borrowed people, and people were borrowed. ”

After Liu Renliang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Mu and waited for an answer.

Liu Mu shook his head: "In this matter, I found a Fu Yin to come over, and Chang'an gave him a step up, from the fourth grade." I'd like to divide it into three prefectures, and the other two are still choosing. ”

"This relationship is good, I am a general." Liu Renliang breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is another thing, there is a big drought in Guanzhong this year, and almost more than 40 county orders have carried the black pot for the imperial court, and the verdict of this matter is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. First of all, the monks who were returning to work did not repair the waterways, and then the supervision of these prefectures was unfavorable, and they were all relegated to Wajima and Cochin. ”

"This is wronged!" Liu Renliang just didn't say anything, this must be Liu Mu's ghost.

"The saint himself talked to them, and each of them vowed to serve the saint, and what was done here was to expand the land. I'll tell you this, that is, when these people come, you take care of them to some extent, at least make them feel valued, and then the Ministry of Rites will send a group of teachers to come, and you will also take care of one or two. ”

Liu Renliang happily agreed: "This is a trivial matter, no problem." ”

"The last thing, about a month later, my third sister came over, that's it."

A hint of joy appeared on Liu Renliang's face, after all, the newlywed Yan'er, he was loyal to Datang when he went out for Datang, but who could not miss his family.

"I can lend you my annex in Kagoshima for a few days, as long as you don't get down to business."

"Yes." Liu Renliang nodded vigorously and then said, "Then I'll go and get busy first, and send the prepared materials to the villages first." ”

Liu Renliang left with a smile on his face, but Liu Mu still looked at the dock with a slight frown.

Fang Xuanling asked Liu Mu what changes would happen to the commoners and tenants of the Tang Dynasty when they came to Wadao, but Liu Mu couldn't think of it, and he couldn't see anything at this time. Fang Xuanling reminded Liu Mu to build a few Taoist temples and temples, at this time it is useful to view and temples, and each village should also build an ancestral hall, which can be used as a school at ordinary times.

The advantage of this is that the people in the past of the Tang Dynasty will not forget their roots, their ancestors, and their ancestors. 10
